WHY? A promotion to get the story into the hands of a lot of readers: It needs more visibility and reviews to help spread the word that it is a good book. (So, I'm told.)

WHY NOW?It's Fathers Day.It is a story about two kids and their fathers. Stinger is found dead on page 1, but why did his father disown him?Did Sean Maguire kill his son, Tyran?Cody Wilks is a teen raised by a single father. Cody seems like a fine young man, but did he kill Stinger Maguire?Bruce DelReno deals with the two fathers in trying to figure out who killed the golf pro.

WHY ELSE?-It's Fathers Day. It's a golf story.-How about this? This mystery is well-written, exciting, fun, and snappy. I'm not really into golf, but I do enjoy reading about sports and hobbies written by someone who does genuinely love them, and Mike Bove certainly does. The characters were fun and believable, the story kept me turning the pages, and the mystery was thoroughly satisfying. A fun read! -Mary Catherine at Amazon-The World Cup starts today. Fathers and mothers and sons, OK daughters, too, need something to read between the 48 games being played during the next 15 days.

GIVEAWAY OF PAPERBACK:Between these date (June 10 - July 07 2014) I am offering 3 free copies of the first edition of Stinger Maguire at booklikes.com. (for more reviews)The First Edition has the golf ball cover.

LOCAL AUTHORS FORUM:I will be at the second annual event sponsored by the Cottonwood Public Library.Twenty-eight local authors were there last year signing and talking about their books.It takes place on August 23rd this time at the Cottonwood Recreation Center. It should be a larger event and I am excited to see other authors I know and to meet new ones. (Of course, I'd rather talk to readers.) More about this later.
